Photography has the power to transform the most familiar buildings into new and original spaces. We take thousands of pictures nowadays, but which are the ones which really stick with us? Sto Werkstatt in Clerkenwell, London celebrates architectural photography through the exhibition called "Building Images", starting on January 16.
